Starlink vs. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet: Clash of the Broadband Disruptors

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-28 00:00:00

So, what makes Starlink and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet the biggest names in rural broadband? One word: Availability. Both providers offer extensive wireless coverage in places where fiber and cable can't reach, making them a top option for rural communities. While Starlink has effectively revolutionized satellite internet with its fleet of low Earth orbit satellites, and has reportedly doubled its speeds compared to two years ago, we would still recommend T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.

The Morning After: Switch 2 user accidentally banned after playing pre-owned game cards

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-28 12:31:58

Be extra careful where you buy your used Nintendo Switch game cards. A Switch 2 owner posted on Reddit about how their account was banned after downloading patches for a few Switch game cards they'd bought from Facebook Marketplace. The Switch 2 user contacted Nintendo support and discovered they were banned, but they provided proof of purchase and were unbanned shortly after. The Redditor said the “whole process was painless and fluid.” Nintendo Nintendo attaches unique codes to its Switch ga

Do You Need a Box Spring for Your Modern-Day Mattress? (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2026-01-28 11:32:00

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design. But have you noticed you may not be seeing them as often nowadays? In my opinion as a career mattress tester, contemporary mattresses are on their way to m

DEWLine Museum – The Distant Early Warning Radar Line

Typical DEWLine Stations There were two types of stations, Main and Auxiliary. The sites were placed approximately 100 miles (160 KM) apart, along the 69th parallel about 200 miles inside the Arctic circle. Originally, there was a third type of station called an Intermediate site (I-Site), located midway between each of the Main and Aux sites, and would have been home for about 5-people. The 28 I-Sites proved ineffective and were abandoned in 1963.

Want to be Seated for ‘The Odyssey?’ Some Showtimes Are Out Over a Year in Advance

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-28 21:01:50

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theaters one year from this Thursday—on July 17, 2026—and something big might be coming to celebrate. Showtimes (just showtimes, not a way to actually buy tickets) for select IMAX 70mm screenings of the film have begun to show up on ticketing websites, which is odd because a) It’s over a year in advance, b) Nolan is still making the movie, which means c) there isn’t a locked-in runtime yet.

Last December, Miller announced his departure from Sequoia after twelve years to “start [his] own fund focused on the great founders of Europe.” Despite the European focus, TechCrunch’s understanding is that Evantic will actually invest on both sides of the Atlantic, with a focus on B2B companies at the Series B and growth stages.

Cidco MailStation as a Z80 Development Platform (2019)

The Cidco MailStation is a series of dedicated e-mail terminals sold in the 2000s as simple, standalone devices for people to use to send and receive e-mail over dialup modem. While their POP3 e-mail functionality is of little use today, the hardware is a neat Z80 development platform that integrates a 320x128 LCD, full QWERTY keyboard, and an internal modem.

Dozens of ‘Ghost Galaxies’ Are Orbiting the Milky Way, Astronomers Suspect

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-29 11:35:25

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) theory suggests that most galaxies are low-mass dwarf galaxies, many of which orbit larger galaxies like the Milky Way. More broadly, the LCDM represents our best understanding of how the universe works. But there’s a problem. According to the theory, the Milky Way should have significantly more satellite galaxies than scientists have observed with telescopes and predicted with computer simulations.

Interlock ransomware adopts FileFix method to deliver malware

Hackers have adopted the new technique called 'FileFix' in Interlock ransomware attacks to drop a remote access trojan (RAT) on targeted systems. Interlock ransomware operations have increased over the past months as the threat actor started using the KongTuke web injector (aka 'LandUpdate808') to deliver payloads through compromised websites.
